compiling the VM on Win machines

Your options are:
MS Visual C++ (works - my preferred choice)
Borland C++ (should work without modifications; I never tested it)
Metrowerks CodeWarrior (should work with some modifications; I never tested
it either, but I may have too at some point ;-)

Freeware/shareware/opensource: No compiler I know of. Cygnus GCC for Win32
(from www.cygnus.com) will NOT work - they are not supporting enough of the
Win32 functionality - their stated goal is to provide GCC (==Unix) guys with
a compiler for easier porting; their include files lack many things and
building DLLs is just a very subtle way of punishing people for wanting to
create Win32 stuff at all.
